This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of spacer into left metatarsal-phalangeal joint, open approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 0SHN08Z

UNSPSC 85721617 Insertion of spacer into left metatarsal-phalangeal joint, open approach is a Commodity code whose title does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently posted under it. Recent solicitations tagged to this code reflect general medical evaluation, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-outs, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic joint-spacer insertion or surgical devices. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the posting process or a data-synchronization issue between the state and local procurement platforms and the UNSPSC taxonomy. No state or local opportunities support procurement aligned with the code's stated clinical scope.

The six recent opportunities posted under this code originate from diverse issuing bodies including a city retirement office (City of Phoenix), a municipal employer (City of Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile justice authority (Harris County), a county government (Collier County), and a regional health system (County of Santa Clara). These postings span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington with due dates between September 25, 2026 and April 9, 2026. The code shows no meaningful activity or market concentration — it appears to serve as a catch-all or default classification for health-services procurement that falls outside the taxonomy's established structure, making it unreliable for business development targeting or opportunity forecasting.
